Running A Cemetery in North America

"Oh? Then what kind of god has he become?" asked the Monkey King.

"He calls me master, so naturally he's part of my True Monarch Erlang's Divine Temple."

The Monkey King immediately protested: "Hey! Why can't it be my Monkey King's Divine Temple!"

"There's always a first come, first served. You came much later than me, so why bother fighting over it."

"Hey! You three-eyed creature, take a hit from my staff!"

Seeing these two Great Gods playing around, Sun Yan felt helpless and had no choice but to leave the room and went to the living room to ponder over the Grand Sacrificial Society's ticket issue.

Just then, Elise, who was playing in-game in the room, rushed out and urgently shouted to Sun Yan: "Jackson, there was a letter addressed to you in the mailbox yesterday, since you were out I signed for it, it's on the table, take a look yourself."

After saying that, Elise hurriedly ran back.

"Got it."

Sun Yan then walked towards the living room. As he passed Elise's open door, the corner of his eye caught sight of her computer screen, where she was controlling a mage playing the Audur quest.

"Ah, internet-addicted girl."

On the dining table in the living room, there was indeed a letter, with an ancient and quaint envelope, and when Sun Yan opened it, a card fell out from inside.

'Invitation from the Grand Sacrificial Society: Welcome, esteemed Tomb Guardian. Once you've cleared out those whose wills have fallen, you have earned the qualification to enter the Grand Sacrificial Society. We hail from five lakes and four seas, from continents and oceans, all to protect this world and ensure peace eternally. Please bring your ticket to the Graveyard gate on yellow Saturday night, where someone will come to welcome you into the Grand Sacrificial Society.'

There were a few lines of small print on the card, which startled Sun Yan because these words were not in English but Chinese.

"Interesting, so this is actually touching the core secrets of the Graveyard." Sun Yan thought to himself as he put the card away.

Tomb Guardian, Grand Sacrificial Society, outer demons... He believed the true secrets would soon unfold before him.

…

One week later, at night.

A yellow fog suddenly spread around the Graveyard, and Sun Yan immediately walked out of the main house, heading to the Graveyard gate.

Seeing the color of the fog, and the time on his phone had stopped blinking, this should be the symbol of yellow Saturday's arrival.

Ring ring ring!

A sound of a bell rang out from the fog, and then a few hooded robe-clad figures emerged from the fog.

They held brass gongs in their hands, and each strike dissipated the fog within one meter around them for a few seconds.

With this tool, these people could freely move through the fog.

"Please follow us." The leader approached Sun Yan and said in a hoarse voice.

"Why should I trust you?" Sun Yan asked.

The person did not explain, instead pulled out a card from their pocket and handed it over. Sun Yan took a look and saw it was identical to the card he had from the envelope.

"Please come this way."

The group turned to leave, and Sun Yan didn't hesitate and followed quickly.

He didn't know how long he had walked in the fog, when suddenly the dense fog cleared ahead.

An ancient mansion gate appeared before Sun Yan.

The walls of the mansion were very high, white walls with black tiles, and the gate was made of solid red wood, with a pair of couplets on both sides.

But those words were completely incomprehensible to Sun Yan, as if they were oracle bone scripts.

Nine lanterns hung high at the mansion entrance, illuminating the area in bright red, blending ancient mystery with a hint of eeriness.

"Is this the Grand Sacrificial Society? What can I do here?" Sun Yan asked curiously.

"Other Tomb Guardians will also come here, you can trade with each other for things not in use, or help each other complete tasks difficult to finish alone. Of course, if the materials you acquired in the Spirit Realm are not useful, perhaps other Tomb Guardians might help you repurpose them," said the leader.

Standing at the gate he continued: "We will not enter, according to rules only Tomb Guardians can go inside. When you hear the rooster crow, no matter what you're doing, please leave the Grand Sacrificial Society immediately, or you'll have to wait until the next yellow Saturday."

"Thank you."

Sun Yan nodded and then entered through the mansion gate.

Just as he crossed the threshold, an invisible resistance stopped his body, as if his body was instantly filled with a thousand-pound weight, making it impossible for Sun Yan to take another step forward.

At this moment, the Grand Sacrificial Society ticket in his pocket flew out, burning automatically above the threshold, and the invisible resistance instantly disappeared.

"So there was this hurdle too." Sun Yan thought to himself, suddenly understanding.

As he entered the mansion, his face transformed with the Monkey King's Assistance Divine Power to become the likeness of Roken.

A massive bluestone stood tall in the courtyard, more than five meters high, inscribed with the words 'Sacrificial Society'.

Five fire pits surrounded the bluestone, each seated with a delicate little toddler wearing red vests with ponytails.

Aside from Sun Yan, there were three cloaked men and women standing near the bluestone, and when they saw Sun Yan appear, they all cast curious glances towards him.

"Foreigner? Haven't seen one before."

"Too many locals have left the country in the past two hundred years, even Tomb Guardians have taken the heritage abroad, now even foreigners have become Tomb Guardians, it's really annoying."

"Cloud Mountain, don't be so prejudiced. Foreign Tomb Guardians are also Tomb Guardians, as long as their will hasn't fallen, they can be trusted."
